TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an organic compound, an organic light-emitting diode including the organic compound, and a display device including the organic light-emitting diode. More particularly, the present invention relates to an organic compound capable of improving luminous efficacy, thermal stability, and lifespan properties, an organic light-emitting diode including the organic compound, and a display device including the organic light-emitting diode.

BACKGROUND ART

An organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is a self-emissive device. In addition to a wide viewing angle and excellent contrast, the organic light-emitting diode has advantages such as fast response time and excellent luminance, driving voltage, and response speed, and may be implemented in diverse colors.

A general organic light-emitting diode has a structure in which an organic material layer is inserted between an anode and a cathode, and the organic material layer may have a multilayer structure including a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, a light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, an electron injection layer, and the like.

When a voltage is applied between the two electrodes of the organic light-emitting diode, holes are injected into the organic material layer from the anode, and electrons are injected into the organic material layer from the cathode. At this time, high-energy excitons are formed in the process of recombination of the injected holes and electrons. At this time, as the formed excitons move back to a ground state, light having a specific wavelength is generated.

Meanwhile, to increase the luminous efficacy, stability, and lifespan of the organic light-emitting diode, a hole injection material, a hole transport material, a light-emitting material, an electron transport material, an electron injection material, and the like constituting the organic material layer should be stable and efficient. However, development of the organic layer materials is still insufficient.

Accordingly, development of novel materials is continuously required, and development of electron transport materials is urgently needed.

In this case, electron transport performance may be improved, and luminous efficacy and lifespan properties may be excellent.

For example, Chemical Formula 1 may be one of Chemical Formulas 1-1 to 1-44. In this case, high luminous efficacy may be achieved even at a low driving voltage, and lifespan properties may be improved.

For example, the organic light-emitting diode of the present invention may include a first electrode; a second electrode; and an organic material layer disposed between the first and second electrodes.

For example, the organic material layer may include one or more selected from the group consisting of an electron injection layer, an electron transport layer, a light-emitting layer, a hole transport layer, and a hole injection layer. In the organic material layer, one or more layers may include the organic compound of the present invention. In this case, when a forward bias is applied, holes flow into the light-emitting layer from the first electrode, electrons flow into the light-emitting layer from the second electrode, and the injected electrons and holes combine to form excitons. At this time, as the excitons transition to a ground state, light is emitted. In this case, a wide viewing angle and a fast response time may be obtained, and luminance, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics may be excellent.

The organic compound may be used as any one material selected from the group consisting of an electron transport material, a hole transport material, and a host material of a light-emitting layer.

For example, the electron transport layer may include an electron transport material, and the electron transport material may include the organic compound of the present invention. In this case, due to improvement in electron transport performance, luminous efficacy may be excellent.

When the organic compound is used as an electron transport material, excellent electron transport properties may be obtained without substantial increase in a driving voltage. In this case, the luminous efficacy, thermal stability, and lifespan of the organic light-emitting diode may be improved.

Hereinafter, the organic light-emitting diode will be described in detail. However, the organic light-emitting diode of the present invention is not limited by the following examples.

For example, the organic light-emitting diode may have a structure in which a first electrode; a hole injection layer; a hole transport layer; a light-emitting layer; an electron transport layer (ETL); an electron injection layer; and a second electrode are sequentially laminated. Specifically, an electron blocking layer (EBL) may be further included between the first electrode and the light-emitting layer, and a hole blocking layer (HBL) may be further included between the second electrode and the light-emitting layer.

For example, the first electrode may be an anode, and the second electrode may be a cathode. In this case, holes are injected into the light-emitting layer from the anode, electrons are injected into the light-emitting layer from the cathode, and the holes and the electrons combine in the light-emitting layer to generate excitons. In this case, red, green, and blue emission colors may be effectively implemented.

For example, the anode may include one or more selected from the group consisting of a conductive metal oxide, a metal, and carbon.

In this case, holes may be efficiently injected from the anode into the light-emitting layer.

For example, the hole injection layer may have a thickness of 100 to 10,000 Å or 100 to 5,000 Å, preferably 100 to 1,000 Å. Within this range, hole injection properties may be improved without increase in a driving voltage.

For example, the hole transport layer may include a hole transport material. The hole transport material may include, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of bis(N-(1-naphthyl-n-phenyl))benzidine (α-NPD), N′-di(naphthalene-1-yl)-N,N′-biphenyl-benzidine (NPB), and N,N′-biphenyl-N,N′-bis(3-methylphenly)-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine (TPD). In this case, holes may be efficiently transported from the anode to the light-emitting layer.

For example, the hole transport layer may have a thickness of 100 to 10,000 Å or 100 to 5,500 Å, preferably 100 to 3,000 Å. Within this range, hole transport properties may be improved without increase in a driving voltage.

For example, the light-emitting layer may include a luminescent material. The luminescent material may include, for example, one or more selected from the group consisting of tris(8-hydroxyquinolinolato)aluminum (Alq3), Balq(8-hydroxyquinoline beryllium salt), 4,4′-bis(2,2-biphenylethenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (DPVBi), spiro substances, spiro-4,4′-bis(2,2-biphenylethenyl)-1,1′-biphenyl (spiro-DPVBi), 2-(2-benzooxazolyl)-phenol lithium salt (LiPBO), bis(biphenylvinyl)benzene, aluminum-quinoline metal complexes, imidazole, thiazole, and oxazole, without being limited thereto.

For example, the light-emitting layer may have a thickness of 100 to 1,000 Å, 100 to 700 Å, or 100 to 300 Å. Within this range, light emitting properties may be excellent without substantial increase in a driving voltage.

For example, the electron transport layer may include an electron transport material, and the electron transport material is preferably a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1. In this case, the luminous efficacy, stability, and lifespan properties of an organic light-emitting diode may be improved.

For example, the electron transport layer may have a thickness of 100 to 1,000 Å or 100 to 500 Å, preferably 100 to 300 Å. Within this range, electron transport properties may be improved without substantial increase in a driving voltage.

For example, the electron injection layer may include an electron injection material, and electron injection materials commonly used in the art may be used as the electron injection material of the present invention without particular limitation. For example, the electron injection material may include one or more selected from the group consisting of LiF, NaCl, CsF, Li₂O, BaO, BaF₂, and lithium quinolate (Liq). In this case, electrons may be efficiently injected from a cathode into a light-emitting layer.

For example, the electron injection layer may have a thickness of 1 to 500 Å or 3 to 300 Å, preferably 5 to 100 Å. Within this range, electron injection properties may be improved without increase in a driving voltage.

The organic light-emitting diode according to the present invention may be manufactured in the order described above, i.e., in the order of a first electrode/a hole injection layer/a hole transport layer/a light-emitting layer/a hole blocking layer/an electron transport layer/an electron injection layer/a second electrode. Alternatively, the organic light-emitting diode may be manufactured in the reverse order, i.e., in the order of a second electrode/an electron injection layer/an electron transport layer/a hole blocking layer/a light-emitting layer/a hole transport layer/a hole injection layer/a first electrode.

For example, in a method of manufacturing the organic light-emitting diode, an anode is formed by coating the surface of a substrate with an anode material using a conventional method. For example, as the substrate, a glass or plastic substrate having excellent transparency, surface smoothness, easy handling, and water resistance is preferably used.

A hole injection layer is formed by coating the surface of the anode formed on the substrate with a hole injection material by vacuum thermal deposition or spin coating.

When a hole injection layer is formed by vacuum thermal deposition, deposition conditions may vary depending on a hole injection material and the structure and characteristics of the hole injection layer. For example, a deposition temperature of 100 to 400° C., a degree of vacuum of 10⁻⁸ to about 10⁻⁶ torr, and a deposition rate of 0.01 to 2 Å/sec may be used, without being limited thereto.

When a hole injection layer is formed by spin coating, coating conditions may vary depending on a hole injection material and the structure and characteristics of the hole injection layer. For example, coating may be performed at a coating rate of 2,000 to 5,000 rpm, and heat treatment may be performed at a temperature of 80 to 200° C. to remove a solvent after coating, without being limited thereto.

Next, a hole transport layer is formed by coating the surface of the hole injection layer with a hole transport material by vacuum thermal deposition or spin coating, and a light-emitting layer is formed by coating the surface of the hole transport layer with a luminescent material by vacuum thermal deposition or spin coating.

An electron transport layer may be formed by coating the surface of the light-emitting layer with an electron transport material by vacuum thermal deposition or spin coating. At this time, when the organic compound of the present invention is used as the electron transport material, the luminous efficacy, stability, and lifespan properties of an organic light-emitting diode may be improved.

Next, an electron injection material is formed on the surface of the electron transport layer by a conventional method, and then a cathode is formed by coating the surface of the electron injection layer with a cathode material by vacuum thermal deposition.

For example, a display device of the present invention may include the organic light-emitting diode of the present invention. For example, the display device may be a mobile device (portable computer, electronic notebook, watch, remote control, camcorder), a road sign, a display part of an electronic device, or a wall-mounted TV. In this case, desired effects may be realized.

It is specified that all the above-described configurations for carrying out the present invention can be arbitrarily combined and substituted within the broad framework of the means for solving the problems of the present invention.

Example 1

A substrate used to fabricate a device was ultrasonically cleaned with distilled water for 10 minutes, dried in an oven set at 100° C. for 30 minutes, and then transferred to a vacuum deposition chamber.

In Example 1, a top emission substrate was used, and an anode was formed of a metal/ITO layer. Silver (Ag) was used as the metal, and the thickness of indium tin oxide (ITO) was 10 nm. On the ITO electrode, a hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer, an organic light-emitting layer, an electron transport layer, and an electron injection layer were sequentially deposited.

Specifically, the hole injection layer (HIL) was deposited to have a thickness of 5 nm. In addition, on the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer (HTL) was deposited to have a thickness of 120 nm. On the deposited hole transport layer, an electron blocking layer (EBL) was deposited to have a thickness of 15 nm. Then, to form the organic light-emitting layer, a BH compound was deposited to have a thickness of 20 nm, and 5% by weight of a BD compound was added as an impurity. In addition, Chemical Formula 1-1 prepared in Preparation Example 1 and lithium quinolate (LiQ) were mixed in a weight ratio of 2:1. Then, to form the electron transport layer (ETL), the mixture was deposited on the organic light-emitting layer to have a thickness of 30 nm. In addition, to form the electron injection layer (EIL), LiF was deposited to have a thickness of 1 nm.

In the process, the deposition rate of the organic material layer was maintained at 0.5 to 1.0 Å/sec. During deposition, degree of vacuum was maintained at 1 to 4×10⁻⁷ torr.

In addition, to maximize a resonance effect, a translucent electrode (cathode) was disposed on the electron injection layer. In this case, a magnesium (Mg)-silver (Ag) alloy was used to form the translucent electrode, and the translucent electrode was formed to have a thickness of 14 nm.

Finally, to improve light efficiency, a capping layer (CPL) was deposited to have a thickness of 63 nm. In addition, after vacuum deposition, the substrate was transferred to a glove box, and an encapsulation process was performed. A glass cap having a moisture absorbent (getter) therein was used as a sealing member. In addition, compounds used in deposition of each layer are as follows.
